                   RECOGNIZING INDIANA NATIONAL GUARD

  (Mr. STUTZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STUTZMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the courageous 
men and women from the Indiana National Guard who are here to serve in 
Washington, D.C.
  On December 6, about 300 servicemembers from Indiana deployed to our 
Nation's Capital. They have already started their mission in D.C. to 
keep our streets safe and free from violent criminals. I am especially 
thankful to these men and women for serving during the holidays.
  These Hoosiers will miss cherished times celebrating Christmas and 
New Year's with family and friends to restore order in D.C.
  While these Hoosiers just begin their mission here, this deployment 
is just another one of the ways on a long list that Indiana troops have 
supported our country.
  In 2024, Indiana National Guardsmen deployed to Texas to secure our 
border. Earlier this year, 400 National Guardsmen returned from their 
mission in the Middle East. Indiana National Guardsmen continue to pour 
out their time and talents to serve our Nation.
  Mr. Speaker, the Indiana National Guard's dedication to serving our 
country continues to make all of us in Indiana very proud.
